Im trying to make a loop play and continue the function, but I do not know how to do this.


db = true

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	
	if db == false then return end
	db = true
	
	local value = 0

	while true do --loop starts here
		wait(0.1)
		script.Parent.CanvasGroup.Frame.Visible = true
		value += 0.1
		script.Parent.CanvasGroup.Frame.Position += UDim2.new(0,0,0.01,0)
		script.Parent.CanvasGroup.TextLabel.Visible =  true
		local newvalue =  math.round(value / 100) * 100
		script.Parent.CanvasGroup.TextLabel.Text = string.format("%0.1f", 10 - value)
		if script.Parent.CanvasGroup.Frame.Position.Y.Scale >= 1   then
			script.Parent.CanvasGroup.Frame.Visible = false
			script.Parent.CanvasGroup.Frame.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,0,0)
			script.Parent.CanvasGroup.TextLabel.Visible =  false
			db = true
			return
		end
	end	


	local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character

	for i,v in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Decal") then -- if it is a part
			v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0.5
			v.Transparency = 0.5

			table.insert(characterTransparencyConnections, v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("LocalTransparencyModifier"):Connect(function()
				v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0.5
			end))

			table.insert(characterTransparencyConnections, v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Transparency"):Connect(function()
				v.Transparency = 0.5
			end))
		end
	end
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Abilites.Invis:FireServer()
	task.wait(3)
	stopTransparencyConnection()
	for i,v in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Decal") then -- if it is a part
			v.LocalTransparencyModifier =  0
			v.Transparency = 0

			table.insert(characterTransparencyConnections, v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("LocalTransparencyModifier"):Connect(function()
				v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
			end))

			table.insert(characterTransparencyConnections, v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Transparency"):Connect(function()
				v.Transparency = 0
			end))
		end
	end
	stopTransparencyConnection()
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Transparency = 1

end)

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

bump

#3

Just change every line that is under the while true loop to the top. Or else the loop will just ignore the rest of the code under.

#4

Edit: Just realized something. I think I misunderstood your question.
The reason the code underneath the loop wont execute is because you are using “return” to exit the loop. Use break instead. Then after the loop is done the code underneath it will execute.

If you want to have the code below it executed before the loop since the loop will cause a delay:
As the reply above says I would also just recommend to move the code underneath the while loop to above it and that should fix it for you.
But for future reference if you run into a problem where you can’t move the code you can look up coroutines.

#5

you can use task.spawn() to make it run without blocking the rest of the code

db = true

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

	if db == false then return end
	db = true

	local value = 0

	task.spawn(function()
		while true do --loop starts here
			wait(0.1)
			script.Parent.CanvasGroup.Frame.Visible = true
			value += 0.1
			script.Parent.CanvasGroup.Frame.Position += UDim2.new(0,0,0.01,0)
			script.Parent.CanvasGroup.TextLabel.Visible =  true
			local newvalue =  math.round(value / 100) * 100
			script.Parent.CanvasGroup.TextLabel.Text = string.format("%0.1f", 10 - value)
			if script.Parent.CanvasGroup.Frame.Position.Y.Scale >= 1   then
				script.Parent.CanvasGroup.Frame.Visible = false
				script.Parent.CanvasGroup.Frame.Position = UDim2.new(0,0,0,0)
				script.Parent.CanvasGroup.TextLabel.Visible =  false
				db = true
				return
			end
		end	
		
	end)


	local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character

	for i,v in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Decal") then -- if it is a part
			v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0.5
			v.Transparency = 0.5

			table.insert(characterTransparencyConnections, v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("LocalTransparencyModifier"):Connect(function()
				v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0.5
			end))

			table.insert(characterTransparencyConnections, v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Transparency"):Connect(function()
				v.Transparency = 0.5
			end))
		end
	end
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Abilites.Invis:FireServer()
	task.wait(3)
	stopTransparencyConnection()
	for i,v in pairs(character:GetDescendants()) do
		if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("Decal") then -- if it is a part
			v.LocalTransparencyModifier =  0
			v.Transparency = 0

			table.insert(characterTransparencyConnections, v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("LocalTransparencyModifier"):Connect(function()
				v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 0
			end))

			table.insert(characterTransparencyConnections, v:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Transparency"):Connect(function()
				v.Transparency = 0
			end))
		end
	end
	stopTransparencyConnection()
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Transparency = 1
